I'm not surprised by this, and it is the right thing to do. This is not the time to celebrate TV-stars:

Emmys Canceled for Sunday Night

October 07, 2001 03:49 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The presentation of the Emmy awards, television's equivalent of the Oscars, was canceled on Sunday because of the U.S. air attacks on Afghanistan earlier in the day, a CBS spokeswoman said.

The awards were originally scheduled for presentation in a three-hour nationally televised program on Sept. 16, but were delayed by three weeks because of national mourning for those killed and injured in the aerial assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon five days earlier.

A CBS spokeswoman, Susan Marks, said, "The event is canceled." The awards program had been scheduled to be televised from 8 to 11 p.m. EDT on CBS.
